January 30 marked a banner day for Brad and Carson! After making 9 PINEWOOD DERBY cars, the boys finally got it right.
In our LONG history of the event, it began with 6:30PM weigh/check-in with a start race time at 7 PM. Our minds expected the same timing for the LAST race for our Cub Scout era.
Experience has taught me to not freak-out when my husband and Carson are putting on the souped-up wheels as we drive to the family event at 6:50 PM--plenty of time.
However, this year the cub leaders decided to have the weigh-in at 6 PM and RACE start at 6:30PM. Thank goodness for Mormon standard time because when we swooped in at 7:05 PM, only the FIRST race had begun and after all was said and done--
CARSON (and Brad!!!!! who am I kidding) WON FIRST PLACE with a VERY thin "skateboard" car!
I am working on a slideshow of all 9 races for the boys
so look forward to some goofy pics of friends, family and fun at the RACES!.
